The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that both cards drawn are aces given that the person claims they are aces, and he has a 60% chance of telling the truth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Events**: - Let \( A \) be the event that both cards drawn are aces. - Let \( T \) be the event that the person tells the truth. - The probability that the person tells the truth is \( P(T) = 0.6 \). - The probability that the person is lying is \( P(T') = 0.4 \). 2. **Calculate Total Ways**: - Total ways to choose 2 cards from 52 cards: \[ \text{Total ways} = \binom{52}{2} = \frac{52 \times 51}{2} = 1326. \] 3. **Favorable Outcomes for Event A**: - The number of ways to choose 2 aces from the 4 aces available: \[ \text{Favorable ways for A} = \binom{4}{2} = 6. \] 4. **Calculate Probability of Event A**: - The probability that both cards drawn are aces: \[ P(A) = \frac{\text{Favorable ways for A}}{\text{Total ways}} = \frac{6}{1326} = \frac{1}{221}. \] 5. **Calculate Probability of Claiming Both are Aces**: - If both cards are aces and the person tells the truth: \[ P(T | A) = P(T) = 0.6. \] - If one card is an ace and the other is not, the number of ways to choose 1 ace and 1 non-ace: \[ \text{Ways to choose 1 ace and 1 non-ace} = \binom{4}{1} \times \binom{48}{1} = 4 \times 48 = 192. \] - The probability that the person claims both are aces when they are not: \[ P(T | A') = P(T') = 0.4. \] 6. **Calculate Total Probability of Claiming Both are Aces**: - Total probability of claiming both cards are aces: \[ P(\text{Claim both are aces}) = P(T | A) \cdot P(A) + P(T | A') \cdot P(A'). \] - Where \( P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - \frac{1}{221} = \frac{220}{221} \). - Thus, \[ P(\text{Claim both are aces}) = (0.6 \cdot \frac{1}{221}) + (0.4 \cdot \frac{192}{1326}). \] 7. **Calculate the Final Probability**: - Using Bayes' theorem: \[ P(A | \text{Claim both are aces}) = \frac{P(T | A) \cdot P(A)}{P(\text{Claim both are aces})}. \] - Substitute the values and simplify to find the final probability. ### Final Calculation: After substituting the values and simplifying, we find: \[ P(A | \text{Claim both are aces}) = \frac{0.6 \cdot \frac{1}{221}}{(0.6 \cdot \frac{1}{221}) + (0.4 \cdot \frac{192}{1326})}. \] This will yield the final probability.
